Saturday classes across four branches — Livonia, Troy, Canton and Farmington Hills — where about 700 children read, write, sing and speak Tamil. Look closely: the letters themselves are dancing behind this page.
✎ The background video — Tamil letters at play — runs gently behind every section as you scroll.
Every branch follows the same 32-week Saturday calendar and curriculum, so a child can continue seamlessly if the family moves across metro Detroit.

Our cosiest branch — everyone knows everyone.
The weekly rhythm every MTS family knows — attendance, assembly, class, library, and home with a story.
Attendance is marked as children arrive with their bags and books.
Everyone opens together with the Tamil invocation and announcements.
Lessons from the flipbook syllabus — letters, words, stories, conversation.
Children borrow Tamil story books for two weeks, scanned out at the desk.
Homework is posted in Google Classroom; the week ends with a story at home.
Parents, teachers, principals and students each get their own desk — sign in and simulate a role to try them.
Register children, sign waivers, follow report cards and library loans.
